• "My Oga At The Top" •||

For some days now, the media has been over flooded with the phrase: "my oga at the top", which emanated from the live interview @channels_TV granted Mr. Shem Obafaiye, the Lagos State Commandant of the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps. (NSCDC).

Whilst so many have chosen to turn this to a joke, I think it should be an eye opener for us.

Now, let's glean some lessons from this;

1. Be very conversant with the happenings around you at all times. Ignorance can be deadly!

2. Regardless of your qualification, strive to possess a Sound Interpersonal Communication Skill (IPC). This will prevent you from making incoherent presentations. He was unable to answer any question appropriately!

3. Regardless of the case, be calm, remain yourself. Don't be too "Boss Conscious". This was a challenge the man had. He wanted to please his Boss at all cost, hence, the phrase "My Oga at the top". Refrain from worshiping people! ||« Respect all, fear none. Honor all, worship none! »||

4. When asked a question and you don't have an answer, please just open up by saying you don't know. Better still, say you'll get back to the person. This led the man to giving "ww.nscdc that's all!" as the URL for his organization. Don't EVER misinform people!

5. In this jet age, it will be highly calamitous to get ready. Please DON'T GET READY, LIVE READY! The man obviously wasn't expecting the questions asked.

Bear in mind, that this same interview could have boosted Mr. Sham's image if successful. ||« Sometimes, the path that leads to success may also lead to failure! »|| This is a lesson for us all, dat's all.

Good tips, to add to that;
1. When on an official setting, use official designation of your organization. If the man has said the commandant general or whatever the boss is called officially, it wouldn't have portrayed him as an a.ss licker.
2. Stop shouting on top of your voice, even on this forum, you can only fool fellow I.diots like yourself. Having a calm mien makes people think you are full of wisdom, even when you are still a learner.
3. When you are the boss in an environment you don't have understanding yet, surround yourself with very competent subordinates and listen to them carefully.
*coughing* DAZ ALL for now.

@ bold, thats the first training any serious organization gives to her employee! When in doubt, ask.. when asked and not sure, say I will find out and get back to you. Simples as ABC and it helps your listeners believe and trust what you tell them.
